friday favorites: valentine's edition



Hooray for Friday!

I love Valentine's Day more and more every year.  While it's been a special day for Bobby and I for awhile, we now get to have fun and make it a special holiday for the kiddos as well.  We are finding ways to celebrate all kinds of love around here!

Watching these two love on their baby sister is for sure a favorite moment this week!


Every year I place these love chains on the kid's bedroom doors, and each night they get a heart added telling them one of the many things that I love about them.  It has become a favorite tradition of ours, and this year, we got to add Ashlynn to the mix!


Well, the kids decided they wanted to do hearts for their daddy, so they have been having fun coming up with some things they love about him.  Some of my favorites are "how you always fall asleep when you read", "dad's bald head", and "dad's snoring" (obviously, they don't sleep in the same room as him! ha!).


I'm not sure how, but this baby girl is just getting cuter and cuter every day!  We were playing around while we waited for Makayla at her ballet class, and she started giving me the biggest, sweetest smiles.  LOVE her!!!


Makayla has been making Valentine's pictures to send to some friends.  She came up with what she thought would be the perfect thing to write on them:

Happy Valentine's Day!
I love God more than you!
Love,
Makayla

Hahaha!  I am still cracking up over this!  Sweet girl just wants to let everyone know how much she loves God - she was in no way trying to be funny or insulting or anything.

Think Hallmark is hiring?!!


And yesterday, we got to go to a fun Valentine's party with our homeschool group.  I love these precious kiddos of mine!


Happy weekend, friends!

  1. Oh my goodness! I love how she is honest! Love God more than you - I want to send that to a lot of people, myself! But you know what? It is a testament to you as a mama - that baby has Jesus in her heart! I'm sure the eloquence will grow in time. Your heart chains have me over here feeling like a mom failure!!! I need to do something like that. And your baby - my goodness what a beauty! May your weekend be fabulous. xo
